Paranormal Scene Investigations

review 1: I gave this one a chance even though the first one made me kind of cry with the excessive, story-slowing sexual tension and sexual content.This book had more of the not-story-enhancing sex and sexual tension, also the excessive narration. There were literally pages of thick narration between dialogue lines. I ended up skipping a lot of the text; it just got in the way.I won't be continuing with the series.
review 2: Setting: New York – Bonita’s apartment, PUPI offices, council chambers, crime scene walking distance from a clubTheme: Politics, hidden agendas, what is the true crime?, unbiased truthCharacters:Fatae v human v Talent – elves/fairies/demons/dragons/etc v human v magic usersPUPI – Private Unaffiliated Paranormal Investigations – unbiased CS... moreI into crimes involving TalentBonnie ‘Bonita’ Torres – told from her point of view… she is committed to PUPI, the pack is jelling, she gives it her all…Ian Stosser – co-leader, the face of PUPI, deals with the Cosa Nostradamus, passionate, intelligent, Benjamin Venec – co-leader, lone jacker, the heart of PUPI, monitors the well being of the crew and pushes them in the right direction, their main teacherSi-Ja - ki-rin; fatae – rare, cannot lie (but can omit parts of the truth) body of a stag, mane of a lion, head of a dragon, with a slender horn from forehead, associating only with women of untouched virtue.

They don’t have access to Mercy, the friend, or the Si-Ja, so can’t prove it… but it is necessary to prove as Ian’s sister and another of his enemies are working behind the scenes to discount PUPI and to push forward an agenda to manipulate humans to fear the fatae, and even the Talent. The pack is noticing changes in their abilities and how they are communicating with one another… Bonita and Vanec’s connection is changing too… they can ‘hear’ one another more clearly, they can sense where one is… they both experience a sexual connection that seemed to exist, not called forth from one or the other… and when Bonita is stressed, Vanec can move into her mind and calm her, and vice versa… Vanec checks with his mentor, who is a librarian of the old magics… and there are stories of soul mates, whose current use wavelengths are so close that are connected in a different way… by the end of the book, they both seem to be more accepting of it – naturally holding hands without thinking, and giving each other the words they needed to hear… hmmmm less
